Ganina Yama, Orthodox monastery near Koptyaki, Russia
The monastery complex contains seven distinct chapels with green roofs and golden domes situated around a former mine shaft in the Ural region.
Following the execution of Tsar Nicholas II and his family in 1918, their bodies were initially transported to this location for burial in the mine shaft.
The Russian Orthodox Church established this monastery in 2000 to commemorate the Romanov family, with each chapel dedicated to individual family members.
The monastery site maintains regular visiting hours from sunrise to sunset and receives pilgrims throughout the year, with increased attendance during summer months.
The monastery grounds feature a wooden cross marking the exact location of the mine shaft where the Romanov remains were first concealed.
